Hey S2 owners
Anybody have a pic of good pic of their throttle body? I had mine off during my head swap and now the throttle cable doesn't reach. I just wanted to see if I was missing something.
TIA,
Drew

Much Appreciated Blue S2,
I finally figured it out. I have a 90 so I don't have the little spring pad but what I did wrong on mine was mount the pivot arm 180 degrees off which made it too far to reach the cable.
Thanks for the pics.

A dollar short and a day late, but here's mine:

One thing that is different in my setup: you'll notice that the coolant doesn't pass through the TB. Why? My shop did that when we were hunting down a coolant leak, which turned out to be a cracked head.
But we decided to keep the 'coolant bypass' mod in there - Porsche ran coolant through the TB in order to help prevent something called 'icing:' that's when the TB gets stuck due to ice in the TB in colder climates. Since I rarely drive my Porsche in the winter, it's not a problem. And since I prefer not to heat up the air going into my engine, you can consider it a performance mod.
Yeah, good for about 0.005 hp!
-Z-man.
